Description

The head office of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), Tasma Terrace has a gift shop and features regular exhibitions and other events throughout the year. One of the finest examples of a nineteenth century three storey terrace house in Australia, Tasma Terrace was built in 1879 for wealthy grain merchant George Nipper as a stylish guest house and family home. Facing demolition and replacement with hi-rise towers in 1970, this beautiful and unique building was saved through the advocacy of the National Trust. Tasma Terrace now houses the head office of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), a gallery space, and a number of period decorated meeting and function rooms. Head Office and Gift Shop open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. Closed: Christmas Day, New Year's Day and other public holidays.
